We all know that inspiration is a BIG part of why we all do things. Sometimes you see something that someone has made and think, "Hey, I could so totally do that for waaaay cheaper than they are selling it for." Then you do what it takes to figure out how to do it!! I do that all the time, but it usually ends up costing me MORE because I like to experiment and then I can't decide, and I just keep buying stuff, and before you know it - I could have gotten it cheaper if I just bought it!!
Anyway, my point is, we all start every walk in our life with inspiration. I've told you my WHY'S on why I started my journey, but I've never shared my real inspiration! I am today, and I hope she inspires you guys as much as she's inspired me!! Her name is Megan, and I met her while both our spouses were stationed on the USS Iwo Jima. We were both from Texas, and close to the same age. We hung out a few times, and have kept in touch off and on since I left VA/the Navy Wife Life. About a year and a half ago, I started seeing her posting "Headed to the gym today" or "Man, that was a GREAT workout!" Now I see her post things like this: "Just finished my workout, now to take the girls (her beautiful Husky's) for their 2 mile walk!" I'm like WOW, that's dedication right there! A few months ago, Megan posted some pictures. She hadn't really posted many in the past few years, but the ones she did, you could see a difference - and tell that the workouts were paying off. But, until she posted before and afters I never realized HOW awesome she's done!! THAT was when I decided, If she can do it - so can I!!!! That was when I started thinking about the "Why's". Why should I loose the weight, Why do I want to loose the weight. She has definitely inspired me to do something that I never WANTED to do. Sure, I talked about needing to loose weight, but I never had that spark, or that "Ah-HAH" moment when I realized I WANTED to do it!! :) So, after talking with Megan, and getting her permission, I would love to show you just how far she has come!!!!
Okay, Can you say WOW!!!!! She looks GREAT, right?! I also know that it took her a long time to get to where she is now, and she put in a LOT of hard work! But, I want to do this! I want to be able to put pictures up against each other and people just was WHOA, you look AMAZING!!!
I really hope that if you can't take inspiration from ME, and my journey, please take it from Megan (who will also be blogging very soon)! :)
As I bring this entry to a close, please know YOU can do ANYTHING you set your mind to...as long as you:
1.) set a REASONABLE goal
2.) make a PLAN, and stick to it
3.) Have SUPPORT from family, friends, or others going through the same thing.
4.) DON'T give up
5.) JUST KEEP GOING!!! :)
